Further protests are taking place in Venezuela over increasing shortages of medicine, causing thousands of preventable deaths, the Associated Press has reported.

“The situation is alarming, there is a total absence of medicine affecting around 300,000 people in Venezuela,” said Francisco Valencia of the healthcare charity Codevida. “We are living through an unprecedented crisis, mortalities are rising at an alarming rate and thousands have lost their quality of life.”
